Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00200
The Bureau of Land Management Oregon/Washington Rangeland Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00200) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support rangeland resource management work in Oregon and Washington under CFDA 15.237, with awards issued as cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement generally signals that BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project, meaning recipients should be prepared to coordinate closely with the agency during planning, implementation, reporting, and any required compliance steps.
The focus of the program is natural resources, specifically activities that support the management, conservation, and improvement of rangeland resources on public lands administered by BLM in the Oregon/Washington area. While the provided summary does not list specific project types, the title and activity category indicate that proposals should align with rangeland stewardship outcomes such as maintaining or improving ecological condition, vegetation management, habitat objectives tied to rangeland systems, grazing-related resource monitoring, watershed or soil stability as it relates to rangelands, and other on-the-ground or technical work typically associated with rangeland management.
Eligibility is broad for governmental, educational, tribal, and nonprofit entities, but it explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized, depending on the category described); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). In practice, this mix allows a wide range of public partners, universities, tribes, and nonprofit conservation organizations to participate, often in collaboration with BLM field offices.
The notice also includes an important restriction related to youth, interns, and crews. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The language explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific authority. As a result, organizations that want to propose youth corps, interns, or similar crew-based projects under Public Lands Corps authorities are directed instead to the separate funding opportunity identified as NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. The practical takeaway is that applicants to L22AS00200 should not structure their budgets or work plans around Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring mechanisms, and youth corps-style proposals should be routed to the appropriate youth-focused NOFO rather than this rangeland management NOFO.
From a funding perspective, the listed award ceiling is $300,000. The record shows an original closing date of April 6, 2022, and a creation date of February 4, 2022. The number of expected awards is not clearly provided in the source data (it appears blank), so applicants typically would need to consult the full announcement or Grants.gov posting for any additional details on total program funding, anticipated award counts, project periods, and specific evaluation criteria. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as BLM Oregon/Washington partnering with eligible public and nonprofit entities through cooperative agreements to carry out rangeland resource management projects, while clearly separating that work from Public Lands Corps youth internship and crew hiring authorities, which are handled under a different BLM youth conservation funding stream.Apply for L22AS00200
